1961 Topps #405 Lou Gehrig Benched "black tooth" variation?

I saw a picture on the CU/PSA boards about a guy who just bought a PSA 8 Lou Gehrig and it had an unsightly black tooth (looked like it was drawn in) print defect. Is this a known error/correction or just recurring print defect? Is there any value difference in "pearly whites" versus "black tooth"? I know I would rather have the "pearly whites" card.
